<!--paging_filter--><p>Here, carefully arranged in no particular order whatsoever, are our choices for the hottest Mac-addicted guy geeks. And before you start quibbling about what’s hot and what’s not, we’d like to point out that we’re not defining appeal by age, winning tickets in the genetic jackpot, or whatever happens to float your personal boat. We picked them because they like Macs and have interesting lives, period. And yeah, we missed a few guys that we’d have liked to feature due to space limitations, so don’t be beating up on us for that either.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img alt="obama" height="253" src="/files/u32/1216_barack_380.jpg" width="380" /><br /><em>Photo Source: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/stijnvogels/3027740917/" target="_blank">Stijn Vogels</a></em></p><p><strong>Barack Obama:</strong> Our blessedly articulate and tech-savvy president-elect uses Macs, brought a webcam with him on the campaign trail to stay in touch with his wife and kids via iChat, and recently created a furor when he was seen with a (OMG!) Zune -- he’s since <a href="http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2008/12/obama_did_not_have_relations_w.html" target="_blank">denied</a> any relationship with that Microsoft device and confirmed he’s a dedicated iPod user. But far more important than Obama’s own tastes in tech gear are his views on the real benefits of <a href="http://www.barackobama.com/issues/technology" target="_blank">technology</a>, science and the arts. Godspeed, Geek President.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img alt="stewart" height="160" src="/files/u32/1216_stewart_200.jpg" width="200" /><br /><em>Photo Source: Comedy Central</em><br /><br /><strong>Jon Stewart:</strong> It’s rather alarming to realize that no one in the mainstream media covers technology as well as Jon Stewart -- whether it’s net neutrality, cable television tech antics, blogging or poking fun at his iPhone during the Oscars, Stewart cuts through the nonsense and gets it right while making us laugh like loons. A frequent visitor to the NYC Soho store, Stewart has been snapped schlepping his Mac in for <a href="“http://www.flickr.com/photos/blueneurosis/98037626/" target="_blank">repairs</a> and checking out the sales with <a href="http://www.pregnanthollywood.com/jon-stewart-is-training-his-baby-boy-to-offend-and-entertain-already" target="_blank">his boy</a>.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img alt="bono" height="248" src="/files/u32/1216_bono_380.jpg" width="380" /><br /><em>Photo Source: Zachary Gillman</em></p><p><strong>Bono:</strong> Once described Steve Jobs as the “lead singer in a group that helped design the most beautiful object art in music culture since the electric guitar.” in an interview with the <em>Chicago Tribune</em>. Elsewhere he went on to say that the iPod and iTunes are the “crossroads of art, commerce and technology which feels good for both musicians and fans.” Bono has also appeared in Apple Trade Show videos chatting up iTunes, iPods and PowerBooks in equally flowery terms.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img alt="trent" height="254" src="/files/u32/1216_trent_380.jpg" width="380" /><br /><em>Photo Source: Rob Sheridan</em></p><p><strong>Trent Reznor:</strong> The Nine Inch Nails front man is a vehement Mac supporter, telling AudioHead.net that “Everybody in our camp is Mac and that’s it. We’ve adopted a pretty purist attitude.” Apple computers and software are used to capture and edit Nine Inch Nails sound and video, he released Nine Inch Nails' single, The Hand That Feeds, in Garageband format and encouraged Mac users to tinker with it to their hearts’ delight -- Reznor has even displayed the infamous Windows Blue Screen of Death on huge LCD displays at his concerts. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img alt="thom" height="285" src="/files/u32/1216_thom_380.jpg" width="380" /><br />Photo Source: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/30525993@N02/2859578544/in/photostream/" target="_blank">vtrslv</a><br /><br /><strong>Thom Yorke:</strong> Proudly sports an Apple logo on his black Fender Telecaster and uses his MacBook Pro as an instrument -- which his Wikipedia entry aptly describes it as “playing the laptop.” If you’ve been to a Radiohead concert you’ve see the MacBook Pros on stage, they’re a central part of the music you hear providing synth, sampling, effects and whatever noises and voices Thom and the band conjured up. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img alt="tony hawk" height="201" src="/files/u32/1216_hawk_380.jpg" width="380" /><br /><em>Photo Source: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/scottpargettphoto/" target="_blank">scottpargettphoto</a></em></p><p><strong>Tony Hawk:</strong> Loves Macs, especially loves Final Cut Pro, which he uses to make home movies and his commercial skate videos. In an interview with the UK’s <em>Guardian</em> newspaper, pro skater Hawk said he was a longtime Apple user who is “passionate about using Macs over PCs. I never use PCs for anything!” He’s also said his MacBook Pro and iPod are his favorite gadgets, though he’s not egotistical enough to carry one of those limited edition Tony Hawk iPods that were briefly available a few years ago.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img alt="justin long" height="451" src="/files/u32/1216_justin_380.jpg" width="380" /><br /><em>Photo Source:

And he’s suffered for us all, because he’s been harassed <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2006/jul/23/entertainment/ca-long23" target="_blank">on the streets</a> and <a href="http://gagravaar.wordpress.com/2006/10/19/the-hatred-of-juston-long" target="_blank">online</a> by angry geeks who have taken offense at his artsy emo-boy coolness. Long didn’t get a computer of his own until he started personifying a Mac, but says he is now a happy owner--and we hope user--of Apple products.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img alt="hodge" height="245" src="/files/u32/1216_hodge_380.jpg" width="380" /><br /><em>Photo Source: </em><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dokas/2982315179/in/photostream/" target="_blank"><em>phil dokas</em><br /></a><br /><strong>John Hodgman:</strong> He may play a PC on TV, but in real life he uses a Mac and has since 1984. Hodgman confessed to <a href="http://istres.creativeloafing.com/gyrobase/john_hodgman_has_more_information_than_you_require/Content?oid=610181" target="_blank">Creative Loafing</a> that “I did spend a brief period in the wilderness with a Windows machine in the late 1990s and early 2000s, because the literary agency where I worked had them, and I reviewed video games that wouldn’t play on Macs. But it did not go well in exile. I can’t really remember details about those Windows machines, but I can tell you the specs of every Macintosh I’ve ever owned.” </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img alt="mark" height="304" src="/files/u32/1216_mark_380.jpg" width="380" /><br /><em>Photo Source: <a href="http://laughingsquid.com/" target="_blank">Scott Beale / Laughing Squid</a></em> </p><p><strong>Mark Frauenfelder:</strong> Boing Boing founder, artist, writer and editor Frauenfelder <a href="http://boingboing.net/gadgets.html">says</a> he loves “using beautiful and intelligently designed things, and my iMac and iBook are right up there with my Kamaka soprano ukulele and my Rosle stainless steel garlic press.” </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img alt="wil" height="274" src="/files/u32/1216_wil_380.jpg" width="380" /><br /><em>Photo Source: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mirka23/198567469/" target="_blank">Mirka23</a></em><br /><br /><strong>Wil Wheaton:</strong> Got his hands on the Mac 128K <a href="http://www.comicmix.com/news/2008/07/21/interview-wil-wheaton-on-webcomics-publishing-and-tech-part-2" target="_blank">almost immediately</a> after its release and has been using Apple products ever since, but he’s not a blind fanboy loyalist--he’s dallied with Windows and has a long-term relationship with Linux. He also writes cool books and gives <a href="http://www.wilwheaton.typepad.com" target="_blank">good blog</a>.</p><hr /><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img alt="slater" height="253" src="/files/u32/1216_slater_380.jpg" width="380" /><br /><em>Photo Source: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/envision/2886411421/" target="_blank">envisionpublicidad</a></em><br /><br /><strong>Kelly Slater:</strong> Winner of nine world titles for his way with the waves, surfer Slater told the world that he loves making movies on his Mac “I’ve never done this stuff before, it took me about an hour to edit -- Pretty easy” in a Switch ad awhile back. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img alt="lama" height="239" src="/files/u32/1216_lama_380.jpg" width="380" /><br /><strong>Picture Source: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/janmichaelihl/2541588868/" target="_blank">Jan Michael Ihl</a><br /></strong><br /><strong>His Holiness The Dalai Lama:</strong> says that “science and technology are powerful tools, but we must decide how best to use them. What matters above all is the motivation that governs the use of science and technology, in which ideally heart and mind are united.” Check out how members the Silicon Valley business community put technology to positive use via the <a href="http://www.dalailamafoundation.org" target="_blank">Dalai Lama Foundation</a>. His Holiness has a decades-long interest in technology but despite photos <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/timsimpson/255420579" target="_blank">like this one</a> it’s unlikely he personally owns a computer. But how many of us can say we iChatted with Steve Jobs?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img alt="mayer" height="466" src="/files/u32/1216_mayer_380.jpg" width="380" /> </p><p><strong>John Mayer:</strong> OK, yes, we have been mean to him over the years. We called him Prince Valium. We bitched when Jobs gave him a new MacBook Air. We even <a href="/article/john_mayer_and_steve_jobs_bffs" target="_blank">grumbled</a> about his recent convert-to-Mac status. All that said, (and we’re not the only one who <a href="http://cultofmac.com/john-mayer-betrays-apple-with-a-blackberry-curve-ball/700" target="_blank">virtually beats up</a> on John) he’s one of us, and he even <a href="http://realdanlyons.com/blog/2008/07/29/john-mayer-gives-his-dad-mac-tech-support-tears-out-own-hair/" target="_blank">freaks out</a> just like we do when forced to serve as the family tech support person. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img alt="corey" height="360" src="/files/u32/1216_corey2_380.jpg" width="380" /><br /><em>Photo Source: <a href="http://coreyrich.typepad.com/news/" target="_blank">Corey Rich</a></em><br /><br /><strong>Corey Rich:</strong> His Mac-powered studio lets <a href="http://www.coreyrich.com">Rich</a> concentrate on capturing images of extreme athletes rather than fiddling with cranky technology. As he told <a href="http://www.apple.com/pro/profiles/kinglines/" target="_blank">Apple</a> “My passion is creating compelling content. What I’m least passionate about is how to use complex tools, whether that’s a camera or a computer. For me, the Mac is the tool that requires the least amount of thinking yet does the most amount of work.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img alt="steve" height="414" src="/files/u32/1216_aoki_380.jpg" width="380" /><br /><em>Photo Source: <a href="http://steveaoki.dimmak.com/blog/media/" target="_blank">Steve Aoki</a></em><br /> <br /><strong>Steve Aoki:</strong> DJ extraordinaire, record producer and fashion designer, Aoki continues to redefine what we want to hear, see, wear and play with. No surprise his Mac is <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/istress/2400222288" target="_blank">customized</a> -- and it makes us want to break out the magic markers and freshen up our PowerBooks. (And who else but Aoki would have their computer stolen by some kid who hid in his room behind the shower curtain, snatched his backpack, then had a change of mind and <a href="http://rcrdlbl.com/2008/03/10/a_good_dude_is_sorry3" target="_blank">returned it</a> with a “Sorry -- I’m really a big fan of yours” note?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /><img alt="bowie" height="304" src="/files/u32/1216_bowie2_380.jpg" width="380" /><br /><em>Photo source: Jimmy King</em><br /><br /><strong>David Bowie:</strong> He’s recreated himself a dozen times but through it all he sticks with Macs -- and proudly posts pictures of <a href="http://www.davidbowie.com/news/newsContent.php?id=20080402" target="_blank">himself and his machine</a> on his website. Tech-savvy Bowie understood the power of Web 2.0 well before most of his peers and their PR flacks, using his web site to let fans submit song lyrics, art for inclusion in CD booklets, and vote for which songs he should sing in performance. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img alt="kevin" height="263" src="/files/u32/1216_rose_380.jpg" width="380" /><br /><em>Photo Source: <a href="http://www.diggnation.com" target="_blank">Diggnation</a></em><br /><br /><strong>Kevin Rose:</strong> Anyone who can make 60 million in a year and a half without being evil is hot, ok? Rose, the co-founder of Digg, says he first tried a Mac because of “all the Apple craziness”, but says he discovered that Macs just make it easier to get things done faster. He admits to having a PC at home for playing games, but <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRcPhJx-Hcc" target="_blank">says that the more he uses Vista</a> “the more I realize it’s just a pain in the ass operating system.” You can watch Rose fondle his MacBook on pretty much any episode of <a href="http://revision3.com/diggnation/" target="_blank">Diggnation</a>.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img alt="gackt" height="571" src="/files/u32/1216_gackt_380.jpg" width="380" /><br /><em>Photo Source: <a href="http://www.gackt.com/english/" target="_blank">Gackt</a></em><br /><br /><strong>Gackt:</strong> According to a kind <a href="http://gekka-no-neko.livejournal.com/22968.html" target="_blank">blogger’s</a> translation of <a href="http://www.apple.com/jp/switch/macstory/gackt/" target="_blank">Gackt’s Apple</a>, he has half a dozen or so MacBooks, which are positioned conveniently all over his house, and -- as if that wasn’t enough -- he also has five PowerMacs. Musician, songwriter and actor Gackt says he likes Macs because they are cuter than PCs, and friendly -- “more like a pet, or sweetheart or family member” than a machine. He uses his MacPets to make music, create videos and edit photos. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img alt="fabrio" height="379" src="/files/u32/1216_fabrio_380.jpg" width="380" /><br />Photo Source: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/deneyterrio/3068367503/" target="_blank">deneyrerrio</a><br /><br /><strong>Fabrizio Moretti:</strong> Cult of Mac author Leander Kahney, who meticulously tracks all things Mac, revealed in a <a href="http://www.wired.com/gadgets/mac/commentary/cultofmac/2005/02/66580?currentPage=all" target="_blank">blog post</a> that Fabrizio Moretti, drummer from the Strokes, seems to have an insatiable craving for new PowerBooks, which he and then-girlfriend Drew Barrymore apparently purchased on a regular basis with great enthusiasm. Oddly Barrymore also dated Justin “I’m a Mac” Long, so we assume there’s some sort of freaky Apple fetish theme here that we could easily exploit if we really wanted to, but we won’t because we just don’t care. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img alt="steve" height="251" src="/files/u32/1216_steve_380.jpg" width="380" /><br /><br /><strong>Steve Jobs:</strong> His Mac creds need no elaboration, he was there when he started and he’s still there, micromanaging each little detail of each Mac product release. He hit the nail on the head years back when he told <em>BusinessWeek</em> that Apple was failing during Gil Amelio's reign because “The products suck! There's no sex in them anymore!” Macs and all their little portable kindred have certainly regained their sex appeal under Jobs, who still looks mighty fine in those black turtlenecks. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Check out the <a href="/article/feature/hottest_mac_chicks">19 Hottest Mac Chicks</a>. </strong></p>http://www.maclife.com/article/feature/20_hottest_mac_dudes#commentshottestFeaturesWed, 17 Dec 2008 16:34:36 +0000Michelle Delio3587 at http://www.maclife.comThe 19 Hottest Mac Chickshttp://www.maclife.com/article/feature/19_hottest_mac_chicks

<p>Apple has helped crush the stereotype of the pale, introverted nerd
hiding in his basement building a robot girlfriend. Oh sure, there are
a few guys and gals out there who would love nothing more than a
mechanical mate to take to the prom or 20-year high school reunion. The rest of us prefer our nerds with an actual pulse. </p><p>For these folks we present the 19 hottest Mac chicks. These ladies are blessed with both beauty <em>and</em> brains -- after all, they chose Macs. </p><p>Don't worry, ladies, check back tomorrow for the <a href="/article/feature/20_hottest_mac_dudes">hottest Mac dudes</a>.
